I can tell you for a fact that the game was not made from the ground up for challenges and achievements.

I guess CRPGnut argument is that it influenced the game design enough to make it a (subjectively) poorer experience. Where exactly did you feel that was the case, CRPGnut? Which elements do you think suffered from compromises made due to the existence of challenges?
